Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.5-1.358 thru 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 (i686)
Distribution: Fedora Core 2



Fast and quiet, with good support for writing CD-R(W) and DVD-R(W), however the drive is not recognized as having the capability to write DVD+R(W) under Linux - disappointing, since Plextor drives have in the past been very compatible.

Writing app: K3b ver 0.11.14-0.FC2.2
Drivers: dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-1.FC2.1
